Many probably remember the early video games that they played in arcades; "Tron" was certainly one of the most popular games out there, although I never really got its appeal. I was more of a "Star Wars" fan(there was a great "Star Wars" aracde game, I don't know how many have played it), and I also loved pinball. "Tron" may not have sounded like the best story to translate into a movie, but the final product offered some of the most impressive visual effects and animation of its time.

The film stars Jeff Bridges as Flynn, a programmer who finds himself sucked into the virtual world of the film. Headed by the Master Control program, all of the players must engage in virtual video games where they battle one another for their freedom.

Yes, the effects seem primitive compared to films like "The Matrix", but if you were around at the time that this picture was released, you'll remember how remarkable the virtual worlds that were created were. Performances are good; the script is a little shaky at times, but the movie's arty-looking effects make for an entertaining time.
